Some writers that work in television get paid a salary. Screenwriters, on the other hand, typically get paid by the project. WGA Screenwriter, author, and MFA educator, Michael Tabb says for individual projects, it is best to get paid half up front, and half upon completion of each draft. Tabb also highly recommends hiring a lawyer to represent you because they will be able to save you money and make more money for you since they know how the industry works. They will be able to guide all of the financial avenues to ensure you are making your fair share for all the hard work you put in.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-96/ScreenwritingContractsandHowScreenwritersGetPaid.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../ScreenwritingContractsandHowScreenwritersGetPaid.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
